The European Union is widely regarded as a “regulatory superpower” (The New York Times, 19 October 2013: A1).  This workshop will focus on the EU's active efforts, both bilateral and multilateral, to shape regulations beyond its borders.  It thus intersects with a number of prominent debates about the EU as a global actor about global rule-making.  The confirmed participants are: Vicki Birchfield, Associate Professor, The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology; Chad Damro, Senior Lecturer of Politics and International Relations, University of Edinburgh; Robert Kissack, Assistant Professor, Institut Barcelona D'Estudis Internationals; Abraham Newman, Associate Professor, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; Elliot Posner, Associate Professor of Political Science, Case Western Reserve University; Jamal Shahin, University Lecturer, University of Amsterdam and Postdoctoral Fellow, Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Kazuto Suzuki, Professor of International Relations, Graduate School of Law, Hokkaido University; Alasdair R. Young, Associate Professor and Jean Monnet Chair, The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Institute of Technology.

The workshop is sponsored by the European Commission through Alasdair Young’s Jean Monnet Chair(2012-3121).
